TOP dog Pudsey last night became the first canine to win Britain's Got Talent - and Simon Cowell wasn't arf pleased.

The six-year-old dancing crossbreed will become the most famous hound in the world after being inundated with offers which could make him - and Simon - millions.

Pudsey's owner, A-level student Ashleigh Butler, 18, burst into tears when it was announced the pair had seen off opera-singing favourites Jonathan Antoine and Charlotte Jaconelli.

Cowell, 52, labelled the pooch a miracle and said: "Pudsey is going to be the most famous dog in the world."

Ashleigh, who with Pudsey, will now pocket £500,000 and perform in front of the Queen at this year's Royal Variety Performance, said: "I am so proud of Pudsey, this means so much to me.

Thank you to everyone who voted."

She then cuddled her pet and said: "I love you."

Earlier in the evening Ashleigh and Pudsey, of Wellingborough, Northants, had wowed the nation with an astonishing routine to the Mission Impossible theme tune.

During the dance, Pudsey - a border collie, bichon frise and Chinese crested cross - even climbed up on to the judges' table, bringing a smile to the faces of Simon, David Walliams, Alesha Dixon and Amanda Holden.

The pair got a standing ovation before Cowell said they were his favourite-ever acts.

He joked to Ashleigh: "I actually think Pudsey is training you now.

"I adore both of you. You have got better and better as the competition has progressed and to do what you did in such a short time is a miracle."

Pudsey has already been approached by top pet food brand Pedigree Chum to be the face of a new £1million advertising campaign.

Attractive Cowell's commercial team at his company Syco were contacted last week by bosses from the firm who want the dog to promote their famous brand.

He has been fed Pedigree all his life by Ashleigh.

Last night a source confirmed: "Pudsey has been approached by several different brands, but the Pedigree deal is one of the most attractive.

"Discussions have begun about the use of his image on cans of Pedigree.

"Success on BGT has made Pudsey the most famous dog in Britain.

"We are talking a hell of a lot of money here. The contracts should be signed over the next few weeks."

Pudsey, who is currently being insured for £2million, also has a Hollywood career beckoning as a new Uggy or legend Lassie.

Cowell, who has made no secret of wanting a dog act to win his ITV1 show, reckons Pudsey can be the next Uggy.

The Jack Russell, who starred in the hit silent movie The Artist, was the subject of worldwide clamour to be nominated for an Oscar earlier this year although Hollywood bosses said it was not possible.

Ashleigh told The People: "I would definitely like to go to Hollywood, that would be the ultimate, ultimate dream.

"Lassie has always been a rough collie so it would be a bit of a twist on Pudsey being another Lassie.

"I think Pudsey would be brilliant at film work. As soon as he sees a camera, he's there waiting to pose."

Ashleigh, who is about to take A-levels in English, ITC, Psychology and Dance also told of her plans to set up a company for animal actors. She added: "My ultimate dream if we won is film work for Pudsey, I'd like to set up my own business for dogs and animals."

And with the money Pudsey makes, Ashleigh has vowed to buy him whatever he wants.

She said: "I probably give him whatever he wanted. He has sausages, he has pasta, chicken, cheese.

"I'd buy him a bed, collar, whatever he wants."

After the result was announced by presenters Ant and Dec that Pudsey had won, judge Amanda left Simon red-faced by reminding him that he had always insisted that if a dog ever won the show, he would dance with it.

But despite claiming he would do so at the end of the show, Simon refused.

Best After the act's performance, Cowell appealed for animal cruelty to be stamped out, mentioning charity Canine Angels who help stamp out abuse towards pets.

He said: "Anyone who can be cruel to animals is sick."

Judge Alesha added: "To anyone out there who treats animals badly, this shows how special dogs are. Ashleigh, you are a star."

Later on the spin-off show Britain's Got More Talent, Simon said: "My life's work is now complete. The talent this year has been the best ever."

Heart-attack Bolton footballer Fabrice Muamba was at the studio to watch the show.

Susan Boyle, who had to do two takes of her pre-recorded performance of Madonna's You'll See because she messed up the first attempt, begged producers to meet Ashleigh and Pudsey. She said: "When I saw Pudsey on television and he melted my heart. He is so talented and his owner Ashleigh, is a delight.

"I don't think I've ever seen a dog be able to dance like that ever and follow such a complicated routine.

"It's hard enough for a human to sing on a stage but Pudsey hasn't been fazed or distracted, which is amazing. I think everyone wants a Pudsey puppy."
